White Paper: Best Practices for Medical Benefit Management (MBM)Tai Freligh
Biologic, biotechnology-based, rare disease, or high-cost pharmaceuticals — collectively known as specialty drugs — can be covered under the pharmacy benefit, the medical benefit, or both depending on the benefit design plan sponsors require of the third-party administrator (including the pharmacy benefit manager – PBM; administrative service organization – ASO; or any administrator of a medical or pharmacy benefit).
On average, up to 50% of specialty drugs today are covered under the medical benefit.
With the exception of a few key therapy areas, traditional tools used to manage specialty drugs under the medical benefit, such as prior authorizations and medical benefit carve-outs (i.e., “white-bagging”), have yielded limited value to plan sponsors.
This thought leadership analysis, with insights from recognized industry experts, will provide an overview of the challenges.

What’s Next in US Payor Communications: The Impact of FDA's Proposed Guidance...Nathan White, CPC
The recent enactment of the 21st Century Cures Act has profound immediate and long-term implications for development and communication of HEOR/RWE in the US, particularly in relation to communications with payors about healthcare economic information (HCEI). In January, the FDA released draft guidance for public comment to outline its thinking around communication to payors of HCEI, but there are still unanswered questions to be addressed in the final guidance. Industry will need to quickly establish new policies and procedures to maintain compliance with the new regulations, especially in relation to OPDP submission requirements – a steep transition from a space that has largely been unregulated.

Get Your Development Program Started on the Right FootBrook White, PMP
You think you have a potential pharmaceutical or biotechnology product based on animal or in vitro data—what is the next step? Two documents you need at an early stage are the Target Product Profile (TPP) which defines expectations for your potential medicine and an Integrated Product Development Plan (IPDP) which describes the activities required through approval of your marketing application.
Here's what bio-pharma organizations need to know when transforming the promotional material review and approval process from a transactional requirement to a competitive advantage.
International Pharmaceutical Industry: Feasibility Is Not (Anymore) A Plain S...KCR
Investigational Sites
The sole term ‘feasibility’ has multiple definitions in a clinical environment, leading to certain bias with all stakeholders involved, including pharma companies (sponsors) and all types of contract research organizations (CROs). The most common perception is related to a never-ending argument between pharma outsourcing departments and CRO commercial groups, with sponsors expecting CROs to run a (non-defined) feasibility study prior to proposal submission and CROs undertaking a series of schematic actions to create an impression of fulfilled expectation.
A clinical trial is a culmination of the several stages of a drug or medical
device development program that begins with the discovery of a
candidate molecule followed by preclinical toxicology studies in ex vivo, in
vitro, and animal models. Once the candidate molecule shows promising
results in these stages, the next step involves clinical studies on human
subjects. Drug testing in humans is often the most lengthy and expensive
phase of the drug development timeline, and therefore requires extensive
effort and careful execution to maximize the candidate’s chances of
success. In addition to scientific evaluation, clinical studies require
approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA),
the regulatory authority in the United States to administer the
experimental drug in humans as well as ship it across state lines. This
approval comes in the form of an Investigational New Drug (IND FDA)
application that is required to be submitted by sponsors, investigators, or
research institutes to the FDA to commence studies on human
participants. The following figure shows the various stages of the drug
development program (Figure 1) marking IND submission on the timeline.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established a comprehensive drug
development strategy for US FDA. This strategy is designed to ensure that the drugs
being developed meet the highest standards of safety and efficacy.The IND is a comprehensive document that contains all the information
gained from preclinical and other studies in an organized format. The
FDA reviews and makes the decision to support further clinical studies
from information in the IND that ultimately forms the basis of marketing
approval. INDs can be submitted at any phase during clinical
development to protect the safety and rights of subjects (Phase I) and to
assure adequate scientific evaluation of the drug’s effectiveness and
safety (Phase II and III). The Code of Federal Regulations CFR Title 21.
Part 312 Investigational New Drug Application contains information on
INDs as well as their content and format and should be reviewed
thoroughly by sponsors or investigators prior to submission of an IND
application.
The IND data requirements are important for the development of new drugs and
medical devices. They provide detailed information about the safety and efficacy of a
drug or device before it can be approved for use by the public

The material included in these modules serves many interests by facilitating understanding of construct, dynamics, and influences affecting regulatory policies and corporate decision-making that ultimately determine access, availability, and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products. In the following modules we will introduce and describe the highly specialized and often disconnected components of pharmaceutical research, drug development/manufacturing, marketing, regulatory policies and practices, and use case studies to qualify the relative effectiveness of safeguards to prevent harm. Additionally, how have pressures to reduce health care costs or increase safety actually affected both aspects of public concern within a global context because transnational interests influence national circumstances.
Post Marketing Surveillance and Pharmacoepidemiologyijtsrd
Post Marketing Surveillance PMS and pharmacoepidemiology are essential components of drug safety monitoring and effectiveness evaluation in real world clinical settings. PMS involves the continuous monitoring of pharmaceutical products after regulatory approval to detect and assess adverse events and safety issues that may not have surfaced during pre marketing clinical trials. Pharmacoepidemiology, on the other hand, employs epidemiological methods to study the effects of drugs in large populations, utilizing real world data from various sources. This article explores the significance of PMS and pharmacoepidemiology in ensuring patient safety, highlights their mutual contributions in research, and underscores the importance of collaborative efforts between regulatory agencies, academia, and pharmaceutical companies. The challenges related to data quality, privacy, and ethical considerations are discussed, along with potential advancements in methodologies and the integration of new technologies for future research and vigilance in drug safety and public health.

Plant Metabolism Studies: Options for Plant CultivationCovance
Regulators across the world are concerned with ensuring that any residues left in or on a crop after application of a plant protection product (PPP), present minimal risk to the health of humans and animals. To achieve this, regulators need information on the identity of the residues and the levels of residues remaining in or on a crop, in order to assess dietary risk and set maximum residue levels (MRLs). The testing approaches used are harmonized across most countries worldwide, focusing on the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Test Guidelines (TGs) for pesticide residue chemistry. This e-book paper focuses on the laboratory-based plant cultivation methods that underlie the success of OECD crop metabolism studies, namely TG 501 and 502.
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.

1. CREATING A COMPREHENSIVE
DRUG DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Less than about 10% of novel compounds that enter initial Phase I clinical trials will obtain
regulatory approval for marketing. Therapeutic efficacy and safety of a new compound are necessary,
but not sufficient to assure cost-effective development, or successful launch and commercialization.
As an expensive and complex process, drug development requires the coordinated efforts of diverse
disciplines, including nonclinical, clinical, regulatory and commercial experts. On the path to market,
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies face many obstacles and potential pitfalls, which can
cause costly delays or stop progress entirely. This white paper provides an overview of creating an
integrated drug development plan, an important tool for identifying development challenges and
devising strategies that increase the likelihood of delivering a new, approved medicine to patients.
What Is the Role of a Comprehensive Development Strategy?
When starting a new drug program, experienced pharmaceutical companies devote considerable effort to
create a comprehensive development strategy. This plan provides a detailed roadmap for advancing a new
compound from the lab though each stage of development, ultimately arriving at the envisioned marketed
drug product. A well-thought-out strategic development plan is an essential tool for improving efficiency,
reducing costs, shortening timelines, and increasing the probability of success for a new drug program.
A multi-disciplinary project team of experienced experts collaborate in preparing this plan, which
outlines the key nonclinical studies and Phase I-III clinical trials, chemistry, manufacturing and
controls (CMC) and formulation activities, regulatory submissions and health authority interactions,
as well as commercial launch activities and life-cycle management. By identifying potential
development issues and challenges, the strategic plan can include alternative development options or
scenarios that help companies avoid or mitigate risks.
The strategic plan also outlines major development milestones and success criteria and can facilitate
cost and timeline estimates that provide a basis for sound investment decisions and project portfolio
prioritization and management.
The major parts of a comprehensive drug
development strategy include the target
product profile (TPP), and the regulatory,
nonclinical, clinical, manufacturing and
commercial plans. Integrating all of these
elements together in a seamless strategy
document is a critical first step on the road
toward realizing a program’s ultimate goals.

2. What Is a Target Product Profile (TPP), and Why Is It Needed?
“If you don’t know where you are going, how will you get there?”
An important first step in creating a strategic roadmap for a drug development program involves clearly
defining a destination that encompasses the key characteristics of the marketed drug product. Internal and
external experts collaborate to outline the desired final product attributes. These include the target indication
or disease(s) to be treated, patient population(s), therapeutic efficacy and clinical safety, formulations, dosing
regimens and administration, drug-drug interactions and contraindications or precautions, among others.
A TPP is a compilation of these characteristics and provides a basis for guiding the design of all program
activities, such as nonclinical and clinical studies, to ensure they will provide the information needed to
assess whether the drug has the desired attributes. Clinical trials and other nonclinical studies will then be
focused to answer critical questions at the earliest possible stages of clinical development. For example, does
the drug have pharmacokinetics that permit once-a-day dosing, or is therapeutic efficacy better than currently
available therapies? Such information provides essential positioning for a competitive drug product.
The TPP also helps set criteria for critical investment decisions. For example, based on initial Phase I and II trial
efficacy and safety results, should the drug candidate be advanced into lengthy, expensive Phase III development?
Creating a TPP brings many questions into sharp focus and drives efficient development program
planning, but the TPP is not a static document. To ensure ongoing development remains on track, the
TPP evolves with new information from clinical trials, nonclinical studies and the external regulatory
and commercial environment. In this way, the TPP eventually provides the basis for preparing the final
approved product label.
For a novel drug candidate that has not yet entered clinical testing,
research scientists may provide only their best estimates of the final
product’s attributes based on nonclinical data. Nonetheless, clinicians
can use the initial TPP to begin assessing how the envisioned drug
product will meet a medical need while commercial experts can begin
to plan where the drug should be marketed, how the drug would fill
a market niche and also attain reimbursement. Regulatory experts
start assessing how health authorities will evaluate the new drug
product and what types of data should be sought in both nonclinical
studies and clinical trials to gain approval. Such initial considerations
guide planning each of the strategic components of the integrated
development plan that are described below.
What Is a Regulatory Strategy, and Why Is It Needed?
Drug regulations can be complicated, and often vary among countries/regions. Regulatory agency
perspectives on development topics can evolve, significantly affecting how a new program should be
designed and executed. A detailed understanding of regulatory requirements and health authority
viewpoints is central to planning a drug development program.

3. A regulatory strategy can include:
▶ The recommended pathway for regulatory approval, based on relevant regulatory guidelines and
precedents from the agencies (e.g., FDA, EMA, PMDA, SFDA) in the market(s) of interest. This can also
include a description of alternative approval pathway options, explaining pros and cons and providing the
rationale for the recommended option.
▶ Regulatory intelligence, such as an evaluation of the regulatory paths taken for similar drugs (if
applicable), whether these drugs were approved (or not), or still in development. A diligent analysis
identifies any special regulatory agency requirements that may apply to a new drug.
▶ A timeline for major regulatory submissions (e.g., IND, NDA/BLA for U.S. FDA and similar filings in
other countries), and additional agency interactions (e.g., pre-IND, and End-of-Phase II meetings) that will
provide feedback to address questions and ensure the program ultimately will meet agency expectations.
▶ Plans for agency interactions, which include the goals and objectives of each major meeting, an outline
of the key questions that need answering, as well as how those questions should be asked.
▶ Key studies and types of trial endpoints and data that regulators will need to see at each stage of drug
development; identification of potential regulatory agency concerns and challenges. This helps insure
nonclinical studies, clinical trials and CMC activities provide the necessary data.
▶ Special options for accelerated review and approval, or market exclusivity that may be applicable to the
drug (e.g., fast-track, breakthrough, orphan disease indication status)
What Is a Clinical Development Strategic Plan?
A carefully planned set of clinical trials, progressing from first-in-human Phase I to Phase II “proof of
concept” and pivotal Phase III trials for registration is a central part of a comprehensive development plan.
Clinical trials are often the most expensive and rate-limiting part of a program, so considerable effort goes
into designing trials that are both necessary and sufficient for regulatory approval and market success.
These trials will also provide the data for making investment and/or partnering decisions at intermediate
points during development.
To begin designing a clinical trial program, physician-scientists first review the preclinical profile of the
new drug candidate (e.g., its pharmacology, mechanism of action and toxicology) and summarize their
assessment of how such properties may impact clinical trial design, as well as proposed therapeutic use in
patients. The medical and scientific rationale for the drug product is assessed to ensure that the marketed
product is likely to gain acceptance by healthcare providers, patients and professional medical organizations.
The clinical plan can include:
▶ Summary outlines of each key trial, from initial Phase I through Phase III, including the study
objectives and clinical hypotheses, trial design, key endpoints and measures (e.g., for safety, efficacy,
pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, surrogate markers, biomarkers and patient-reported outcomes,
etc.), as well as subject populations, key inclusion/exclusion criteria, and approximate subject numbers
and treatment durations. More detailed trial descriptions (e.g., clinical trial protocol synopsis, and
operational feasibility assessments) can also be appended to a development plan, if needed.
4. ▶ A “proof-of-concept” definition. When an early “Go/No-Go” milestone decision is required to decide if
the drug can meet the TPP (e.g., as might be needed for continued investment or to inform partnering/
licensing decisions), a Phase I or II study can often be designed so that results enable a well-founded
decision. The clinical development plan can also provide specific “Go/No-Go” decision criteria.
Articulating and justifying such important criteria can involve detailed consultation with statisticians
and other project team members, as well as senior company management.
▶ Post-approval plans for additional clinical trials and related clinical activities, that can include the following:
∙ Phase IV trials to explore additional therapeutic indications, or to compare a new drug’s effects versus
competing drugs/therapies to demonstrate health economic value and support reimbursement by
insurers, or to evaluate new drug formulations that may provide additional patient convenience or
benefits, or to gain approval for use in special populations (e.g. pediatrics).
∙ Specific commitments made to regulatory agencies as a condition for initial approval (e.g.,
cardiovascular safety trials for diabetes drugs).
∙ Risk Evaluation and Management Strategies (REMS) plans that are sometimes needed following
approval to monitor specific safety concerns and/or meet regulatory pharmacovigilance requirements.
▶ A high-level timeline that helps in coordinating and scheduling other program activities and
triggering financial and resource investments, e.g., for drug manufacturing and scale-up, formulation
development, toxicology and drug metabolism studies, or validation of biomarkers and/or companion
diagnostics, or seeking regulatory agency advice.
▶ An evaluation of any major clinical development issues or risks, including ways to address potential
contingencies or mitigate challenges, with options for modified or alternative development scenarios. Every
drug program is unique, but lessons learned from prior programs (internal and external) can often be applied to
recognize and avoid pitfalls in new programs.
What Is a CMC Strategy, Why Is It
Important, and How Is It Prepared?
Every new drug development program needs a plan for
maintaining adequate drug supplies for each phase of the
program, with a formulation suitable for the intended route
of administration that meets all nonclinical and clinical trial
needs, as well as all regulatory requirements. A CMC plan
functions as a vital component of a fully integrated development
plan by outlining the major features of a drug supply and
formulation strategy, as well as any placebo or comparator
drug supply needs. A CMC plan includes an assessment of the
estimated cost of goods (COGs) for the drug substance and final
market product, a key factor in new drug development.
Components of a CMC Plan
▶ Assessment of any existing drug synthesis,
manufacturing, or scale-up procedures and costs
▶ Plans for quality control, packaging or shipping
▶ Recommendations for future drug production
processes, based on the proposed clinical trials
(considering their timing, size and geographic
location)
▶ Expected demand once the drug is on the market
▶ Drug-specific liabilities (e.g., chemical
instability, or high synthesis costs) that could
jeopardize approval or market success
▶ Recommendations to preclude or mitigate
potential risks
5. Preparing a CMC strategy often begins with a thorough technical, scientific and regulatory review of all
available data on the drug substance or API (active pharmaceutical ingredient). The review also examines
any existing pilot drug formulations to assess whether the available CMC data can be used to support
the proposed nonclinical studies and the clinical trials and can also meet relevant Good Manufacturing
Practices (GMP) regulatory requirements. That review can outline any additional CMC work needed
during development, for example, to ensure drug supply availability, stability and purity, with analytical
methods for quality control that meet required specifications.
What Is the Nonclinical Strategy and Plan?
Advancing a drug into initial Phase I trials requires completing numerous nonclinical studies. These
studies must comply with detailed regulatory guidelines, such as GLP or ICH, and convince regulatory
agencies and oversight committees or review boards that a drug is suitable for administration to people at
the planned dose levels. Nonclinical studies typically include toxicology, genetic toxicology, pharmacology,
safety pharmacology, and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic and bioanalytical studies, among others.
Later Phase II and III clinical development and regulatory approval for marketing requires additional
nonclinical studies, for example, longer-duration toxicology and reproductive toxicology, and
carcinogenicity, and bio-distribution studies. Special studies may also be needed to address concerns
unique to a specific drug, or its molecular target and mechanism of action.
Preparing the nonclinical strategy begins with a thorough
technical, scientific and regulatory review of all available
nonclinical reports and findings, including in vitro and in
vivo studies. Based on an assessment of whether the available
nonclinical data are scientifically sound and adequate to
support the proposed clinical trials and meets all relevant
regulatory guidelines, the nonclinical plan will recommend
and describe any additional nonclinical studies needed
to support the proposed clinical trial program and final
regulatory approval for marketing.
During this process, the nonclinical expert interacts closely with colleagues in other disciplines. For
example, if a nonclinical in vitro drug metabolism study suggests a drug-drug interaction that might
have significant implications for patient safety, or for commercial viability, a recommendation might be
prepared for conducting a specific drug-drug interaction clinical trial. If the trial is completed during early
development, the results can be used in early Go/No-Go decisions, help aid clinical dose and formulation
selections or inform decisions involving combination drug treatments in later Phase II or III trials.
What Is a Commercial Strategy Plan, and Why Is It Important?
Completing an entire drug development program and obtaining regulatory approval for marketing a new
drug is a major accomplishment, but this does not guarantee commercial success or maximum return
on investment nor ensure optimal opportunity for patients to benefit from the new product. Successfully
penetrating the healthcare market after launch to assure rapid adoption by prescribers and wide use by
patients requires a well-planned commercial strategy that favorably positions the product with key opinion
leaders and stakeholders, including physicians, professional medical organizations and insurers who make
reimbursement decisions.
